    With Aliexpress, they have the escrow service. If the customer doesn't receive the product, the seller won't get the money.

    I think so too but never had a package sit at JFK for 4 days before! And after getting screwed already from China I’m on high alert!

    It's old news now, but my story with abctoyshop123 came to a forseeable end. My "replacement Quietus" was delivered in Montreal. I live in Moncton... You fellow Canadians out there know how off that is. Paypal "put a rush" on my case since I made the agent laugh with a "Legos in Montreal" joke. There's power in comedy!

    I've heard of Aliexpress, but never used it. Is it easy to use?

    Pretty easy if you think in simple chinese english since you would miss some gems. And if you link here avoid mobile.

    I honestly have no idea. From the price, I'd say a KO, but either way is fine by me (except I did hear the KO's ratchets are too weak for the combined mode with Simba). The most important thing is that it's actually way cheaper than most I could find, so that's nice :)  Also, seems Day366 is from Taiwan so maybe that means they're honest? :p

    I have used it before, a few times, but because sellers pay a percentage to AliExpress the bots are usually a bit more expensive. On the upside, Ali has some proper customer service and helped me out once before, so you wouldn't necessarily need Paypal as a backup plan :)

    100% confirmed this guy is a scammer!
    Item went to wrong state AND was a small parcel instead of the METROPLEX which is definitely not small.
    His eBay name is CHLIFG1008_8

    Ok the seller pmed me on eBay and said give it 2-4 more days! I said ok but I just checked USPS tracking and this is what I got from them! Now I know it’s from China but it says label created? Anyone have this happen to them? The seller has all positive feedback besides 1 from 3mos ago I just haven’t had a package from China sit at JFK this long! I know it’s a big package as it’s the BMB Dinobot’s so I’m think like what was said above it’s stuck in customs I hope!

    I really wished you guys are used to a month in customs because it can happen.:D  But if a new label is created it won't be long and yes this can happen. Can't tell if it's a good sign depends on what info they use or if you need to pay extra.

    I had a legit trusted seller's package sit at JFK in customs for six weeks. It's almost the luck of the draw.
